The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 2548

"But don't worry. Since I'm in Ocean City, I can easily deal with them."

Kennedy became relieved when he heard that.

He had gathered the heads of several affluent families in Ocean City tonight to
discuss cooperation with them.

They had made a deal, but Sean and the others jumped in and meddled, causing
the heads of several affluent families to flee in panic.

After witnessing the reactions of the heads of the affluent families and the Stone
family's tragic collapse, several other shareholders of Reason Group crumpled.
Before parting ways with Kennedy, Reason Group's shareholders had made it
clear that they would sell their shares as soon as the stock market opened
tomorrow.

They did not care how much money they would lose. All they cared about now
was getting out of the Lake family's dispute with Sean as soon as possible before
they were caught up further in it.

Kennedy knew Reason Group's market value would probably plummet again
once the stock market opened tomorrow. Reason Group might even have to
declare bankruptcy tomorrow.

Kennedy was the head of the Lake family, yet he could do nothing about it.
Although he had many properties, it would not make any difference even if all
those properties were liquidated and invested in Reason Group.

Fortunately, Max was here. He was the second heir of the Lake family in
Janestown and Blaze's younger brother. He was naturally important in the Lake
family.

As Blaze began to rise in the past few years, the Lake family in Janestown had a
vague intention to make Blaze the head of the family. Many of the Lake family
members even said Blaze's father, who was still the head of the family, should
step down sooner and let Blaze take over,

Blaze had almost won over the entire Lake family. Anyone could tell how
powerful the heir of the Lake family in Janestown was, which is Blaze.

As Blaze's brother and the second heir of the Lake family in Janestown, it would
be easy for Max to rescue Reason Group, which was on the verge of bankruptcy.
"Mr. Max Lake, regarding Reason Group... I wonder if Mr. Blaze Lake has any
plans?" Kennedy hesitated slightly before asking the question that concerned him
most.

Compared to Sean and the others, Kennedy believed that Reason Group's
imminent collapse was more crucial, otherwise, once Reason Group went
bankrupt, Kennedy would no longer be as powerful as he once was, even if Max
killed Sean and the others.

Without Reason Group, the Lake family in Ocean City's first branch would be
powerless, and the consequences would be significant.

Max glanced at Kennedy and answered with a smile, "Blaze didn’t say anything
about Reason Group. As you know, a company with a market value of 100 billion
dollars is nothing to Blaze. How can the mighty Blaze humble himself and help
Reason Group tide over its difficulties? I don't think Blaze is going to continue to
support you to be the head of the Lake family in Ocean City if you're going to
bother him with everything. Don't you think so?"

Kennedy shuddered and quickly nodded.

He said to Max, "Il was reckless. When you return, tell Mr. Blaze Lake I'll save
Reason Group." "Okay, got it," Max replied with a smile as he nodded slightly.
Then, he started eating the delicious food on the table. The other Lake family
members were scared to speak and only dug into the food as if the food on the
table in front of them had some feud with them. Everyone looked as if they would
chew the plate and swallow it.

A moment later, a figure suddenly rushed into Lake Residence and immediately
attracted everyone's attention.
